Windy. 7:55 to 12:30. Hoping to see Regal Frits, Western Meadowlarks, Upland Sandpipers and G. Prairie Chickens but struck out on most. I try to come here after a rain but the roads were bone dry. Somehow yesterday's rains missed this place. Birds and butterflies were both disappointing. Checked locations along: Lake, Townline, Buena Vista, 130th, Maple, Washington, 110th, Griffith and Swamp Roads.
